    Abstract

    Using the thermal evaporation method, we prepared nanocrystalline CdZnTe thick films having crystallite sizes of 30-40 nm. Deposited nano-CdZnTe thick films have a preferred (111) growth direction and a resistivity of 1 × 1010 Ω cm. Using the multiple trapping model, we examined the localized state distributions from the time-of-flight (TOE) transient current. In the case of nano-CdZnTe, a localized state having 1 × 1015 cm-3eV-1 at 0.41 eV above the valence band is present and is attributed to Cd vacancies. Another localized state is present at 0.7 eV above the valence band.
